Wednesday night, rising young star Zac Efron attended a special screening of his latest film, “Charlie St. Cloud,” at Wehrenberg Ronnie’s 20 Cine in South County. St. Louis native Emily Johnson was the winner of Universal’s “Hometown Screening with Zac Efron” contest and subsequently received the chance of a lifetime to enjoy Efron’s new romantic drama with the leading man himself. Fans lined up along the red carpet outside Ronnie’s where Efron signed autographs and took pictures before heading inside the theater. “Charlie St. Cloud” officially opens nationwide July 30.
